It’s the 2012 Annual Running of the Sheep in America, and this year
has shaped up to be much like those of Black Friday’s past – long lines,
stampedes, fights, pepper sprayings, shootings, arrests and total
madness.

Watch as Americans the country over fight for cheap, off-brand, worthless products that’ll be broken by this time next year.

Now let’s talk about holidays in the Free Republic of North America (FRONA).

The big Fall harvest feast, otherwise known as Thanksgiving Day, has
its roots in a Puritan celebration of harvest that began in the 1620s.
And throughout America history, it has been celebrated on various dates.
But it was enshrined as a national holiday by none other than US
President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 by a presidential proclamation that
Thanksgiving Day be observed on the final Thursday of November.

His
reason for embracing the official Thanksgiving Day was said to be an
effort to create some kind of unity between the North and the South. At
that time, the Confederate States of America not being all that keen on
Lincolnian edicts, ignored the bastard. After Reconstruction,
Thanksgiving Day was finally observed in the states of the former
Confederacy also.

Impatient line-cutter had allegedly punched man in face. Police say man had permit to carry gun and won't be charged.

Black Friday got off to a rowdy start at a San
Antonio mall where police say one shopper pulled a gun on another who
punched him in the face while they were waiting in line at a Sears
store.

Police Sgt. Rob Carey tells the San
Antonio Express-News a man rushed into the store when it opened Thursday
night to get to the front of a line, started arguing with people and
tried cutting in front of them.

One man who got punched pulled a gun
and that scattered shoppers, including the impatient line-cutter who
took cover behind a refrigerator. Then he fled.

On Tuesday, North Carolina will become the 17th state to host an active
chapter of Fix The Debt, a nonpartisan group working to promote
solutions to the problem of the growing national debt.

The new chapter will be formally launched by former North Carolina
governors Jim Hunt, a Democrat, and Jim Holshouser, a Republican, at a
news conference in Raleigh, McClatchy reported.

The group plans to reach out to people through advertising and events in
the hope of conceiving and proposing solutions to the debt, which has
nearly tripled to more than $16 trillion since 2000.

“We intend to create a groundswell of local, state and national support
that persuades Congress to pass, and the President to sign, a
comprehensive debt deal,” spokesman Jon Romano said.

Fix The Debt was founded by former Clinton Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles
and former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, who co-chaired President Barack
Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform,
commonly known as the Simpson-Bowles commission.

Bowles is a native of North Carolina and ran its state university system from 2005-2010.

The rest of the national organization is run by a long list of former
politicians and high-ranking businesspeople from both sides of the aisle
who hope to push Congress and the White House to find an agreement on
how to start reducing the debt.

The hope is to be more successful than the Simpson-Bowles Erskine-Bowles
proposals, which included massive cuts to Social Security, the Pentagon
budget, other government agencies, and a host of tax breaks. Members of
both parties reacted negatively to the plan.

Sam Koivisto, now a former Jacksonville police officer,
told investigators he did comment he’d volunteer to kill President
Barack Obama. He told them he was frustrated with the Nov. 6 election and the threat was all talk.

On Wednesday, Koivisto told the Times-Union the issue
was “blown out of proportion” and that he was planning to retire in five
months anyway. He said the early retirement was probably “best for
everybody.”

What Koivisto said in the department’s auto theft
office the week of the election didn’t appear to break the law but is an
example of behavior among police and other agencies in Jacksonville
that has been found inappropriate and even criminal in the past several
months.

Koivisto, 57, retired last week rather than face an investigation
into the comments he made after Obama’s re-election. During his Nov. 9
interview, he also told the integrity unit he had said he would not be
bothered if a nuclear explosion “killed them all,” referring to
residents of Northeastern states struck by Hurricane Sandy. They were
Obama supporters, he said.

He told colleagues: “If an order was given to kill Obama or something, then I wouldn’t mind being the guy.”

A Key West resident who police say was distraught over the
presidential election results and worried about his business has
apparently killed himself.

Police say they found Henry Hamilton’s body in his bedroom Nov. 8,
along with a living will with handwritten words “Do not revive!
(expletive) Obama!” Two empty prescription empty pill bottles were in
the dining room.

Hamilton’s partner Michael Cossey told Key West police he last saw
Hamilton when they watched the election results together. According to
the police report, Hamilton was upset and said, “If Barack gets
re-elected, I’m not going to be around.”

Pennsylvania’s Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) is
slashing the hours of 400 adjunct instructors, support staff, and
part-time instructors to dodge paying for Obamacare.

“It’s kind of a double whammy for us because we are facing a legal
requirement [under the new law] to get health care and if the college is
reducing our hours, we don’t have the money to pay for it,” said
adjunct biology professor Adam Davis.

On Tuesday, CCAC employees were notified that Obamacare defines
full-time employees as those working 30 hours or more per week and that
on Dec. 31 temporary part-time employees will be cut back to 25 hours.
The move will save an estimated $6 million.

“While it is of course the college’s preference to provide coverage
to these positions, there simply are not funds available to do so,” said
CCAC spokesperson David Hoovler. “Several years of cuts or largely flat
funding from our government supporters have led to significant cost
reductions by CCAC, leaving little room to trim the college’s budget
further.”

The solution, says United Steelworkers representative Jeff Cech, is
that adjunct professors should unionize in an attempt to thwart schools
seeking similar cost-savings efforts from avoiding Obamacare. (Typical, even though you can't afford it, we will make you do so until you finally go out of business and we win! No jobs.........brilliant)

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.

Thank you

I would just like you to know how so very glad I am that I found your blog. I have learned more history from you and the many links that you post than I have from reading all my history books. I can never thank you enough for the education you are freely giving me. It is priceless. And eye opening.

Many times I will not comment, but that does not mean I am not reading and learning.

You sir, are an educator. Thank you.

Good morning Mr. Townsend,

Just to let you know I have finally finished that massive tome on General Lee. I never knew 1/10th of what a great man he was. No wonder the South is so proud of him! So sad that we have few men of his caliber today. We need them desperately. I have learned more history through you and your blog than I thought I could ever learn. I am very grateful to you. Thank you so much for taking time to answer my e-mail. And thank you for your blog and for opening my eyes.

".......So good to hear from you! And also so pleased you are converting more of us Yankees! You have no idea how many people you have taught. And how many are so grateful to you for showing us the truth."

Your faithful friend,

Phylis

==============================

I have also learned from Brock Townsend and two nurses lately, that appreciation expressed by someone for whom you have great respect overwhelms the lack of appreciation by some from whom you expect it. I believe that we cannot really know which small bit of help makes the life-saving difference. ﻿

I have learned more history from you than all the years I was supposed to be in school (and not out hunting or fishing).

==============================

I really must say, I like thousands of others have said, your blog is the best out there and with all of your history and experience, you should run for *president. I look forward to reading your blog every day and every day I learn from you. Thank you for the time you put into this effort .
